VAP's Volumetric Drone Scan Services
Unlock the power of Victoria Air Photos and Survey RPAS technology for real-time volume of your stockpiles or cuts in Victoria, the Vancouver Island or the Lower Mainland, BC. See Video here.
- > We can provide an extremely fast, accurate and cost-effective method to analyze volumes and provide timely reports.
- > Our professional, survey grade, DSLR, RTK camera ensure the best results possible for drone photogrammetry and Volume Metric Techniques.
- > We safely fly the drone over stockpiles and aggregate cones instead of sending a crew to traverse dangerous sites. See Video
- > Site management can track their inventories and site progress faster, safer and in a more reliable way!
- > With customizable inventory reports for stockpiles, we can give everyone-from production supervisors on site, to auditors at the head office the data they need to make mission-critical decision faster.
- > Access 2D, 3D and DSM files on cloud based software for easy sharing and enjoy a high-resolution colorized visualization of the inventory.
Why Drones for Volumetrics?
- Surveying stockpiles with drones is significantly faster and less obtrusive to daily processes than traditional base-and-rover methods. In fact, everything we do at Victoria Air Photos and Survey is intended to make surveying workflows—and, thus, all earthwork operations—more efficient.
- The benefits of optimizing reporting and reconciliation operations aren’t isolated. We’ve found that, once our customers settle into a drone surveying and reporting workflow, they have more flexibility to start leveraging the highly accurate maps for higher-value analysis.
- Streamline every stage of a site's lifecycle, including the reclamation process by having more relevant reports early on.
- In short it is easy to see the value accurate stockpile measurements and smarter inventory reporting brings to every corner of a mining or aggregate business.
Summary:
- â–º Using drones to calculate stockpile measurements makes it easy to compare your current stockpile volumes to previous surveys and track site progress.
- â–º You can also compare stockpile surveys to a final grade design file to calculate how much material you still need to add or remove.
- â–º With geo-referenced images captured by a drone flying above your worksite, you can use photogrammetry to generate a 3D map of your site with measurements accurate to 1/10ft (3cm).
- â–º Easy to use software means you can take a variety of measurements, including areas, distance, and stockpile volumes.
